Demystifying Modern PLM Sessions. Part 1: TechnologyOleg Shilovitsky
Session 1 - Technology: Understanding the Characteristics of Modern PLM Software
OCTOBER 26, 2021 - 10:00 EDT/16:00 CET
In this session, Oleg will guide you through the components of modern PLM technology. He will help you understand the difference between new, flexible tools and traditional, monolithic systems.
A first time notion that due to data model changes - from relational, to object-oriented/document driven and now object-oriented data-driven everytime creates challenges for upgrades - impossible to foresee
From project to product mindset and onwards to product platform architecturesJorn Bettin
Is it possible to stay innovative and economically manage many hundreds or even thousands of products or product variants?
Organisations interested in benefiting from a product line and product platform approach must adopt values and organisational principles that encourage the development of deep domain expertise. This includes a deep understanding of the forces that continuously change the environment of the product line. These forces can then be harnessed as part of the architectural foundation for the product line.
The pervasive digitisation of services and the desire to create and operate platforms that can support large digital service ecosystems that include many organisations, have put the spotlight on design principles for product lines, product platforms, and related organisational structures.
These slides relate to a talk at ProductTank Auckland (https://www.meetup.com/ProductTank-Auckland/events/252496542/). The video recording is available at https://twitter.com/pmauckland/status/1021272934416109568.
Building An XML Publishing System With DITAScott Abel
Presented at DocTrain East 2007 Conference by Brian Buehling, Dakota Systems -- Since its inception, DITA has rapidly gained acceptance as a standard document structure used in many XML-based content management and publishing systems. DITA is an XML schema developed primarily to support technical documentation for a wide array of applications. This session will cover the commonly used element, attribute and entity constructs that are defined in the schema. More importantly, recommendations concerning how best to implement DITA solutions will be given. Special attention is given to developing practical DITA applications since, in many cases, some DITA elements will have to be extended through a mechanism called specialization to produce a robust XML-based publishing system.
“Context Aware” Document Generation tools for enterprise level, on demand generation and distribution of smart forms, letters or documents of any variety.
Combine AI & Modern Content Services to Increase Productivity by 15%Nuxeo
Did you know that workers in banking and insurance spend almost one hour every day just looking for information they need to do their jobs? Or that UK financial firms have an average of 9 information management systems in place and that 80% report these systems aren’t fully integrated?
Not only is content inherently hard to manage, but the volume, variety, and complexity of content are growing at an unprecedented rate.
Further, many firms continue to struggle with outdated systems and a growing number of information silos.
And, all of this comes at a time when digital transformation is a critical imperative and content is becoming increasingly important for firms seeking to improve customer experiences, collaboration, increase productivity, or comply with new regulations like GDPR.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How to break down information silos and provide a single, comprehensive view of content
- What new types of content are emerging and how leading companies are leveraging these assets for competitive advantage
- How to use AI and machine learning to enrich content and bring new automation and insight
- And, how to increase knowledge worker productivity with a modern content services platform

Establishing thought leadership with content manufacturing and influencer mar...Scott Abel
One of the biggest problems facing content marketers and other content professionals today is their inability to create content that establishes a brand as a thought leader. There's never enough time to create all the content needed. This presentation examines an influencer marketing campaign that takes advantage of content manufacturing and that leverages the unified content strategy. While you may not leverage the same tools and standards that we did, the concepts are applicable to almost any content producing organization.
Creating A Digital Content Factory: Getting Started with Intelligent ContentScott Abel
Content marketing production processes are broken. Most organizations can’t crank out the wide variety of content needed because their processes are outdated, inefficient, and riddled with waste. Oh, and then there are tools. Content marketers don’t have the right ones for the jobs at hand.
In this presentation, content strategy guru Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, will demystify the benefits of intelligent content for content marketers and outline the changes needed in order for marketers to take advantage of the approach.
Attendee takeaways:
How adopting intelligent content can turn a content marketing department into a content marketing factory
How some brands are leveraging intelligent content to produce more content with less effort
Lessons learned from the pros working in the trenches

Intelligent Content in the Experience Age by Scott Abel, The Content WranglerScott Abel
In the Experience Age, consumers expect much more from brands than they have in the past. Once they’ve enjoyed an exceptional customer experience, they become intolerant of confusing, irrelevant, and inconsistent content. Brands that recognize this fact and deliver exceptional content experiences across all customer touchpoint will be rewarded with loyalty.
In order to deliver exceptional content experiences, savvy brands are taking a critical look at how they create, manage, and deliver content. And, what they’re finding is that the approaches they’ve relied on for decades can no longer meet current and future business needs.
Enter intelligent content. Content with superpowers. Content that is designed to dynamically adapt to meet customer needs. It’s content that is digital, data-driven, and dynamic. It’s digital in that it is designed and built for a connected world. It is data-driven in that can be connected to — and integrated with — enterprise data resources. And, it’s dynamic in that it can automatically respond to individual customer needs.
During this opening keynote presentation (originally delivered at the Intelligent Content Conference in San Francisco, March 2015), Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, and co-founder of the Intelligent Content Conference will explore the need for intelligent content in the Experience Age. You’ll discover why our current processes are insufficient, and what some companies are doing to overcome traditional publishing roadblocks.
Emerging Trends in Visual Content Marketing with Adam HelwehScott Abel
Did you know that the average human brain processes information that is more visual up to 60,000 times faster than text? But wait! Text is visual right? Not in the same way. Photos, videos and other visual mediums communicate on a whole 'nother level than a paragraph of text. The rise of visual content marketing over the last couple of years has been driven by bevy of platforms and tools that give little excuse to not include it into your marketing efforts.
Join Adam Helweh as he identifies these trends, explores the tools and helps you create a more vibrant visual marketing mix for your audience.
You will learn:
• Why is visual content more effective than other types of content
• What emerging trends and tools are driving the use of visual content
• How to go beyond the confines of the static image to make visual content that’s more alive and engaging.

The ROI of Intelligent Content with Mark Lewis, DITA Educator, QuarkScott Abel
You CAN prove the savings possible from moving your unstructured content to intelligent content. The benefits are measurable. Intelligent content combined with a content management system can facilitate savings and improvements in content development, translation, regulations, governance, multi-channel publishing, and quality.
In this session, Mark discusses how the various processes benefit from intelligent content and discusses metrics that prove the benefit. If it hurts, then it's time to calculate the pain — and the relief. This session draws from concepts in Mark's book, DITA Metrics 101, The Business Case for XML and Intelligent Content.
Mark also discusses which metrics you should gather so you can align your plan with corporate strategy and become the "Executive Whisperer."

Content Strategy for Technical Communication and Beyond with Gretyl Kinsey, S...Scott Abel
Content strategy is about so much more than streamlining your content development process—it's about supporting your organization's business goals. To be truly effective, your content strategy should be global. That means breaking down the barriers that keep the different types of content producers in your organization apart.
Your organization creates various kinds of content—technical, marketing, training, and more. Your content strategy may begin with tech comm, but it should also account for these other types of content to present a unified message and better serve your brand. This presentation shows how, with a global strategy, all of your content can work together to help your organization succeed.
Gretyl Kinsey is a technical consultant with Scriptorium Publishing who specializes in content strategy and tech comm tools and technologies. Since joining Scriptorium in 2011, she has been involved with the development and implementation of content strategies for organizations in a variety of industries. She has experience with every step of the implementation process, from customizing transforms to converting legacy content to helping with follow-on support. She also frequently contributes her graphic design skills to the marketing side of Scriptorium. With a background in journalism and visual communication, she is interested in the convergence between technical and marketing communication, and in content strategies that encourage it.

The Future of Technical Communication is Marketing with Scott Abel, The Conte...Scott Abel
Once a prospect buys a product or service, the content they interact with is no longer familiar. The instructions provided don't look, feel, or sound anything like the marketing and sales materials that introduced them to your brand. Neither does the service contract, the warranty, the customer support website, the product documentation, nor the training materials.
The extensive variability in customer experience — and each customer touchpoint — creates a different and inconsistent version of the brand, some that bear little or no resemblance to the brand that executives believe they are building. There are often as many brands as there are touch points.
For no good reason, the content experience changes drastically -- and not in a good way. That's why organizations that recognize the importance of a unified customer experience have started rethinking what it means to be customer-centric.
Some forward-thinking organizations are reorganizing customer-facing content creators into teams under one roof. They're breaking down the barriers — the silos — that prevent them from collaborating; from creating a unified customer content experience.
In this presentation, Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, discusses the challenges of content inconsistency and incongruity, and why he thinks the future of technical communication is marketing.

The Making of 'The Language of Content Strategy' - by Scott Abel, The Content...Scott Abel
Time is in short supply. Deadlines are tight. Resources are even tighter. If you're like most content professionals, you have dozens of great ideas but not enough time, money or experience to bring them to life. But it doesn't have to be this way.
In this content marketing meets intelligent content engineering case study, we will explain how the newly published book, The Language of Content Strategy (XML Press) was created with the help of the crowd, structured XML content, a wiki and a formal content strategy. Attend this session to learn how the two seasoned content strategists enlisted the help of 50 knowledgeable experts to create a printed book, an e-book, a companion website and educational flash cards in record time, all from a single source of content. You'll discover why it's imperative that content professionals —regardless of their area of specialty — understand and leverage the power of advanced information development practices. You'll leave knowing why a repeatable content production system, optimized for productivity and designed to efficiently produce multiple content products simultaneously, is no longer an option, but rather a necessity.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
